My name's Josh aka Mez aka mooz. I have been slacking rediculously bad on my following and posting on this board but I'm going to try and fix that. All of you old school PSD'ers more than likely remember me but to the new guys, I just thought I'd introduce myself. Am I still a mod tho?

Stick around man, you've been missed. And Yes I believe you are still a mod...

I was in Gulf Port Miss. doing hurricane relief when I met this guy who was in the right field stands in St. Louis when the Red Sox won the world series. He told me that he met some people in the seats in front of him who were from the New England area. When there were two outs in the bottom of the ninth these people brought out a jar that was filled with ashes of family members who were Red Sox fans. Every year since 1921 as family members died some of their ashes were put into this jar. The story goes that when the Red Sox won the World Series the surviving members were to take the ashes and spread them accross the field when it was over.They had no idea it would take 86 years. I thought it was a great story and thought I would pass it along.

Im Matt. Been a Sox fan since mid 1994. I've missed only 10 sox games on tv in 12 years. Im from Chicopee Mass. Mostly everyones a Sox fan here, no real competition from the Yankee fans. Excited about this year, expect a big ear out of Coco and Lowell, they're gonna be great from us.

Welcome aboard Matt.

10 games in 12 years? Don't you work? Day games alone you'd have to miss 10 games a year.

I'm the same way with the yanks never miss a game(when possible)...but thats quite an impressive record to boast. I mean no doctor's appointments? Weddings? etc.

I grew up in Reading, MA (15.5 mi from Fenway) and am old enough to remember watching the Sox on a rotary dial tuner TV that you hand to hang on to the antenna just to get a decent signal on a rainy saturday afternoon. I recall the "best doggone team in the land" commercials WSBK used to run, the Bucky ^%&*$ Dent game (which we watched on TV in my fifth grade class!). I was smack dab in the middle of Mets Mania in '86 -- I was a freshman at Cornell university and outnumbered about 98-2 watching the WS on a community TV. I was eating dinner at my sister-in-laws while watching Petey come in from the 'pen in the playoffs and '03 I felt like Aaron )(*^&(*&^(*&^ Boone shot my dog.

In '04 I infected my son with this Sox disease. We caught the next-to-last game of the season in BAL (my brother-in-law lives spitting distance from Camden). That game sealed the deal for him. In a 20x15 seat section of box seats the only two O's fans were my brother-in-law and nephew. My son cheered every pitch and got high-5's from everyone when the Sox scored. He can still tell you every play from the game.

Anyway, I'm now 38 and living in Greenville, SC -- home of the Sox mid-A affiliate Greenville Drive and their new West End Park home modeled on Fenway. By day I'm a programmer (C++, C#, Ruby) and I have an affinity for numbers which will probably be apparent soon enough... I've got a BS in Elec Engr from Cornell and a MS in Biblical Studies from Gordon-Conwell. Enough background?
